I agree that I'm not happy with the startup times of snap packages. But these are not the reason for my problems, and if Snap was the only problem I have, well I can just not use it. Probably even uninstall if I want, change to KDE and a different app store. People keep suggesting that I try their favorite distro and that it won't have these problems. But when I dig a bit deeper into any of the suggestions there's plenty of recent threads like mine. As someone else above said, people who plan to run Linux will choose hardware that's known to work, and won't have these problems. That's the key, it's not about the distro you choose, it's the hardware.
